Botanicare actually recommends the soil formula for the ripening stage though.

Skip Botanicare stuff. It's mainly organics (if not all). Organics are not compatible with H2O2. I have yet to see a fully effective organic microbial control.

Like I said, I have the GH nutes to do Lucas formula

Yes to GH, not so sure about Lucas formula. I'd use it they way GH mark the package.

but the guy at the shop told me I'd have to replace my hydroton every cycle and the whole point of going hydroton instead of rockwool or coco was to save myself from replacing media every run. It could have just been him trying to get more business though.

Regardless of nutrients used, pellets can only be re-used once or twice but have to be completely cleaned of all old root matter and sterilised before re-use. Cleaning all the root matter off the pellets is a prick of a job. I'd much rather use disposable media. Sterile every time, no possibility of carrying over root disease from crop to crop.
